Why watch this film?
Inspired by a Julio Cortázar story, 'Blowup' is the first English-language film from the great Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni ('L'Avventura'), winner of the Grand Prize at the International Film Festival (now known as the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival) and with two Oscar nominations. Faithful to the director's previous filmography, this movie proposes a reflection on an alienating existence, in this case, in a reality intervened by photography, making humanity a passive and inert spectator, insensitive to the disturbing events around them and unable to connect with other people, which forces them to look closer and further away to wake up.

L'avventura
Awarded the Jury Prize at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, Michelangelo Antonioni's sixth film, 'La Aventura', was a total challenge to the cinematic and narrative conventions of its time. The movie stands out for its unusual pacing and a story that completely deviates from the traditional, instead focusing on pictorial composition, atmosphere creation, and character relation. It's not exactly a movie to watch if you're looking for a traditional romance, but observe its framing, narrative structure (or lack thereof) and the way it directs action in front of the camera, and you'll conclude that its innovations in film language have left an indelible mark on the seventh art.
Drama
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
Astral City: A Spiritual Journey
Life after death is the main theme in this drama about the process of transformation of a man during his surprising and enlightening experiences in the spiritual dimension. With magnificent art direction and special effects that have never been seen before in a Brazilian production, the film brings to the screen the most important work by Brazilian medium Chico Xavier who, through the account of the spirit of doctor André Luiz, describes in great detail what life is like at “ASTRAL CITY: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY”.
20,000 Species of Bees
Lucía is an eight-year-old girl, who sometimes struggles as the world tries to catch up with the fact that she is trans. As the summer holidays pass, she explores her femininity alongside the women of her family who at the same time reflect on their own femininity.
Challengers
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a “Challenger” event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
